Simply put, a break in continuity occurred between the old, religious and a new, literary reading of Scripture. Michel Despland selects five writers who were caught up in this new reading of the old religious text and who came to write about religion in innovative ways: Jean-Jacques Roussean, François-René de Chateaubriand, Charles Nodier, Alfred de Vigny, and Gérard de Nerval. Their use of the autobiographical voice, and of a range of literary devices that encouraged the distanciation of readers from what they read, brought about a profound transmutation of religious writing. The old code of orthodoxy -- what was traditionally believed and socially confirmed -- was replaced with a more readable, personal text.The five writers treated by Despland helped shape a broader definition of belief, on that included individual sensibility. The works they produced are, in a sense, new religious texts. They did not just restate or reinterpret the code, but achieved a new kind of narrative, which has become dominant in the modern era and has shaped individual relationships to all codes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55326376493224,"sku":"1710946","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"UYU","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/8960\/0680\/files\/POCI-9781487571689_POCI-_9781487571689_7b6e53cc-2382-4332-8347-641806a7fa4c.jpg?v=1773348119","url":"https:\/\/www.libreriapocho.com.uy\/products\/reading-an-erased-code-despland-1","provider":"Librería Pocho","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
